Simply put, a Conveyancer is a person or company qualified and registered to assist with the legalities of transferring property from one person or company to another. They are generally Solicitors, Legal Executives or Licensed Conveyancers, all of whom have proper training and accreditation to do what they do. There is, of course, a little more to it than that, Conveyancers also ensure that the transaction is properly carried out and that there are no issues the purchaser should know about. The process serves to ensure that the property and money (flowing in opposite directions) are exchanged properly and legally and that in the future, there will be no dispute and that there are no nasty surprises later. At MG Legal, your property solicitors in Garstang, our Conveyancers are all fully qualified Solicitors. 

It is true that a poor firm will enjoy less word-of-mouth recommendations that a good one, the same being true of any online reviews and testimonials. However, this is not the absolute rules and there are more factors in play than simple good vs poor businesses. 

 

If you have ever been to an estate agent to view and house, you will probably have been recommended to use the estate agent’s “own”, “in-house” or “recommended” solicitors. This is often accompanied by an assurance that because they “work with” that particular firm the conveyance will be completed that much more quickly and that any other firm will take a lot longer. 

 

The truth is that many firms work on a large-scale basis, offering financial incentives to estate agents for every instruction following them recommending their services and advertising heavily online. Many of these firms are simply interested in getting the conveyance completed as quickly as possible, this being their business model. Naturally, any property solicitor owned by or with a stake in the estate agents will win twice, being paid for advertising the property and then for processing the property transaction. 

Most definitely, there is no place in the Conveyancing process for an estate agent, legally or logistically.
